More Employers Offer Four-Day Workweek in Job Postings
Summary
Proponents of the law in California argue it will boost productivity by reducing stress and burnout, while also decreasing emissions from commutes and worker costs from childcare. In addition, some employers argue that they have to offer more flexibility to attract workers, including rethinking the traditional work schedule. Yet Emsi Burning Glass data show that a significant majority of job postings mentioning a four-day workweek are for occupations that do not require a bachelor’s degree. Occupations seeing the largest increases in four-day workweek postings are oriented toward supply chains and logistics, including: Transportation Supervisors, Inventory Associates, Laborers/Warehouse Workers, and Packagers. Amazon’s dominant position in the labor market—our data show it is the third-biggest employer in the US, and it creates the most job postings—shows its influence over larger hiring trends.
